Keane, what specifically was the flavor you got that made you think you're paranoid?

I'm curious about that.

So I didn't really have any big scum feels, only a couple minor ones and then I caught up on the thread and something weird stuck out to me that potentially implicates one person and possibly a second.

But it is kinda a weird thing to catch someone on and I feel a bit bad about it so I'm debating whether or not to even bring it up.

I'll sleep on it.

do it

This is dumb. But:

Max posted:

Also MMT is playing into her scum meta. She's mostly commented on safe topics and hasn't made any hard calls about people's alignments based on how they are posting.

Sorry MMT, ILU but also die scum.

This is... inaccurate. I would argue that commenting on Keane's n0 paranoid cop claim isn't particularly safe.

On the other hand, I know I can't read you, and I try to remind myself to default to "never trust max". So:

I mean sure she hasn't made any hard calls on alignment but neither had I (or a bunch of other people)?

It is possible that you're just scum who's seen an opening on a meta case.

I mean, I'm also not voting her so include that in the "interesting" category of your response.

I... apparently read her voting you in votefinder as you voting her. I'm good at things, I promise.

Max posted:

Because I felt like focusing on her. It's interesting that you didn't wait to see her respond to this before taking sides though.

And that's, of course, the thing I always seem to harp on people for.

I'm still suspicious of you but I had thought you'd voted her. ##unvote

In reference to Keane voting Toal on the logic that Toal dismissed Keane as paranoid.

In reference to my voting Toal on the logic that Toal didn't object to KB's case.

In both instances, Max makes very reasonable points that cast doubt on the conclusions reached by I and Keane. What stands out to me however, is that of three instances where Max defends a fellow poster, two of them are defenses of Toal. The third defense (of me) rounds quickly into an attack on KB, who Max had voted earlier in the thread.

In both circumstances, Max defends Toal before Toal has the chance to defend theirself. But Max goes on to scold SolusLunes for defending MMT before MMT had the chance to defend herself.

This speaks to me of some kind of association or attachment with Toal.

Max's tenacity at the end of the day doesn't seem focused. It seems like they would vote any of MMT, KB, Rex or Kash, who ever has the thread attention at that time.

The standing vote on Kash is especially confusing because, a) Kash will be lurker gunned without us wasting a day on them. b) Theres been enough suspicious activity to justify having a decent read on someone and not settling for just lynching the hardest lurking lurker.

Pressuring the rest of us to settle on a vote because of the impending deadline while keeping her vote on Kash for ultimately political reason (wanting to pressure them into posting) during the final hours of an impending deadline isn't very coherent.

Max went from being the highest frequency joke poster early in the day to the person most excitedly pushing for a lynch now that time is dwindling.

Altogether, I think I'm happiest voting Max tonight.

##vote Max

As someone who always suspects Max I want to do a thing that flies in the face of 'don't defend someone else' again:

I don't have faith in freelynch lurker rules, and I imagine most people, including Max, don't either. I'm 100% down with lynching someone D1 for being a complete lurker, because freelynches never happening means that lurking is a safe place for scum to hide.

I don't think Max wanting to lynch Kashuno, a lurker, is a scum tell.

Murmur Twin posted:

What's your opinion of Max's alignment?

My opinion is that he's still scummy, but not for that specific reason.

The original reason I had a scummy read (insofar as I can read Max, I've been wrong in literally every game about him) on him was this, in response to his comments about your meta:

Also because I erroneously believed that he'd voted you (when I'd just misread your vote on him).

Max posted:

Also you are one of three votes that just piled on me in quick succession, don't tell me to relax about that.

Town Max seems to generally have more chill than this? I'm also suspicious that Max made me back down on voting him despite my initial gut reaction.

So Tobbs said "Max is dangerous at scum" and you think I thought "oh no that is a real thing I should base a real vote on"?

Like I can't be mad because apparently everyone thought it, I'm more just baffled by it.

Okay yeah you're right, it was pretty clearly a jokevote in my mind.

Look I know I can't read Max worth a poo poo and I've told him so, and I can't trust him :tinfoil:
